OPEN ME FOR ALL OF THE THINGS!nnMake sure to check out http://www.myleighanns.com/collections/swimwear and use coupon code LLane for 20% off of your purchase! I'm wearing the black retro halter swimsuit top & the black retro bottoms in SEVERAL outfits here. I'm also wearing a blue one-piece from them! Everything feels very high-quality and like it's made to last.nnThis took a different direction than I assumed it would when I planned it out in my head a few months ago. I didn't want this to be just another fashion video; I wanted it to be a lot more. The monologue is based on something I wrote in an Instagram post earlier this month, and I'll type the full thing out down below. Post it on Tumblr, write it down and put it on your wall or just keep it in your head; but remember these words. Remember that there is nothing wrong with you or your body. I love all of you more than you know.nnWhat am I wearing?nOutfit 1: Top from TargetnBottoms from Leigh-Ann'snOutfit 2: Top from TargetnBottoms from Leigh-Ann'snAmerican Flag scarf from Charlotte RussenOutfit 3: Top and bottoms from Forever 21nFloral Headband from IcingnOutfit 4: One-piece from Leigh-Ann'snOutfit 5: Top and bottoms from Leigh-Ann'snKimono from Living Doll LAnOutfit 6: Top from TargetnBottoms from Forever 21nBow from Forever 21nOutfit 7: One-piece from TargetnBow from Forever 21nnThis is my body. This is the body of someone who has struggled with an eating disorder. This body is misunderstood. When people see it they assume I sit on the couch and eat McDonald's all day, when in reality I’ve never even seen a Big Mac in person. They tell me it’s wrong. “It’s not okay to be fat,” they’ll say. “You need to be healthy. Lose some weight.” But then when they see me at the gym, they whisper and giggle just loudly enough for me to hear. I’m a joke, something to be put in a hole until I’m pretty by the standards of society.nBut before you tell me what’s wrong with this body, let me tell you what’s right. This body can run for miles and not give out on me. This body is strong. This body has curves. It has muscle and it has cellulite. This body is fueled with healthy foods, but doesn't fail if I feed it improperly from time to time. This is the body of a size 14, the average size of the American woman. And it should be represented the way it is: beautiful. This is the only body I will have for the rest of my life. It shows my struggles and it shows my progress. Why shouldn't I be proud of it? Why shouldn't it be celebrated? Why shouldn’t the path to health be every bit as beautiful as the finished result? I am thankful for what this body has done for me. I am thankful for the healthy path I have taken, both mentally and physically. I am proud of what I've overcome.nThis is my body.nnVisit my blog for outfit post, product reviews & so much more. http://curvydiaries.wordpress.com/nTweet tweet little birdies. https://twitter.com/LoeybugnOr if you aren’t fond of all that chirping, we can be Facebook friends. http://www.facebook.com/LoeyLanenI am the Tumblr. http://www.lolidollyloey.tumblr.comnI post pictures of my cats and husband here: Instagram: @loeybugnBusiness inquiries: loeylanebusiness@gmail.comnJust wanna chat? loeycelestelane@gmail.comnRecieve 25% off your entire purchase from Whitening Lightning with the coupon code CurvyLoey. http://www.whiteninglightning.comnEbates is how I save MAJOR money shopping online!
